What can be used to detect if current is flowing in a circuit without an electric lamp?A voltmeterA magnetic compassA thermometerA light sensorQuestion 1 of 202. How can a temporary magnet be created?By heating an iron nailBy passing electric current through a coil wrapped around an iron nailBy rubbing a magnet on a copper wireBy cooling a steel rodQuestion 2 of 203. What causes heat generation in electrical appliances?Magnetic field productionResistance to the flow of electric currentChemical reactions in the circuitFriction between wiresQuestion 3 of 204. How can you determine if a cell or battery is dead?It glows when connected to a circuitIt no longer produces electric currentIt becomes hot to the touchIt changes colorQuestion 4 of 205. Can all cells and batteries be recharged?Yes, all cells are rechargeableNo, only specific types like lithium-ion batteries are rechargeableYes, but only dry cellsNo, all batteries are single-useQuestion 5 of 206. What did Mohini and Aakarsh observe in Sumana’s lifting electromagnet model?The iron nail glowed when the circuit was closedThe iron nail picked up paper clips when the circuit was closedThe paper clips floated in the airThe battery became warmQuestion 6 of 207. What happens to the compass needle when current flows through a wire above it?It glowsIt deflects from its original directionIt remains stationaryIt rotates continuouslyQuestion 7 of 208. What happens to the compass needle when the current in the wire is switched off?It continues to deflectIt returns to its original directionIt points upwardIt vibrates rapidlyQuestion 8 of 209. What is the region around a current-carrying wire where its magnetic effect can be felt called?Electric fieldMagnetic fieldThermal fieldGravitational fieldQuestion 9 of 2010. Who discovered the link between electricity and magnetism in 1820?Alessandro VoltaLuigi GalvaniHans Christian OerstedMichael FaradayQuestion 10 of 2011. What is the phenomenon called when an electric current produces a magnetic field?Heating effect of currentMagnetic effect of electric currentChemical effect of currentElectromagnetic inductionQuestion 11 of 2012. What is a current-carrying coil with an iron core called?Permanent magnetElectromagnetConductorInsulatorQuestion 12 of 2013. What materials are attracted by an electromagnet in Sumana’s model?Plastic clipsIron paper clipsWooden piecesGlass beadsQuestion 13 of 2014. What happens to an electromagnet when the electric current is stopped?It becomes a permanent magnetIt loses its magnetic effectIt generates heatIt attracts non-magnetic materialsQuestion 14 of 2015. In Activity 4.1, what is used to make a switch?Two nails and a wireTwo drawing pins, a safety pin, and cardboardA magnetic compass and a cellA nichrome wire and a batteryQuestion 15 of 2016. What is the purpose of placing a magnetic compass beneath the wire in Activity 4.1?To measure the voltageTo detect the magnetic fieldTo check the temperatureTo amplify the currentQuestion 16 of 2017. Why does the compass needle deflect in Activity 4.1 when the switch is turned ON?Due to heat generated by the wireDue to the magnetic field produced by the currentDue to the chemical reaction in the cellDue to the gravitational forceQuestion 17 of 2018. What is the effect of inserting an iron nail in the coil in Activity 4.3?The coil becomes an insulatorThe coil becomes a stronger magnetThe coil stops conducting currentThe coil becomes a permanent magnetQuestion 18 of 2019. What happens to iron paper clips placed near the ends of an electromagnet?They are repelledThey are attractedThey remain unaffectedThey heat upQuestion 19 of 2020. How can the poles of an electromagnet be determined?By measuring the voltage across the coilBy observing the deflection of a compass needle near its endsBy checking the temperature of the coilBy counting the number of turns in the coilQuestion 20 of 20 Loading...
